Ingredients
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
1 tbsp fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss sweet potato cubes in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and slightly caramelized.

Notes
- You can substitute goat cheese with feta for a tangier flavor.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth and depth.
- For a crunchier texture, roast the walnuts with a bit of honey.
